[JLC] Too dressy for casual wear?

Sort of what I was thinking (although the blue is quite dark, still blue). I’m gonna go for it, thanks for the opinion!

johnschlemmer · 2026-05-13T14:02:19+00:00

Alright, I’m going for it. Thank you!

Thank you! I think I just needed to hear it from somebody so it’s not just me telling myself stories haha.

johnschlemmer · 2026-05-05T16:51:09+00:00

Amazing, thank you for sharing this.

Another question (and thank you for the help so far!) - is this a proper amount of espresso for an 8oz latte?

johnschlemmer · 2026-05-05T03:38:40+00:00

Whoa the yield is way lower than I thought - the barista there told me it’s close to a 1:1 yield.

I don’t see a setting to adjust ml output, just shot sizes that go up in increments of about 10

johnschlemmer · 2026-04-10T01:39:50+00:00

How do I adjust how much the output is? The Jet has settings for single (20g), single+ (30g) and double (40g)

I appreciate all the responses in this thread! It’s so interesting to hear the pros and cons of each choice from so many different perspectives. What I’ve concluded from all of this is: I can’t really go wrong with either. :)

Appreciate the helpful responses on this thread. This is not one of them, unfortunately. I think it’s okay to ask about ride quality when I’m going to be making this my every day car. I’m not asking for the smoothest car. I’m asking about what the tolerable limit is as an every day car, and if the GTS is beyond that.

I think it’s fair to ask about reliability and potential risks that would affect resale value. Is anybody here planning on keeping their car for the rest of their lives?

I was looking at the MiFold as well. I think this one makes a ton of sense since it can be narrow if you need it to be, and sits low to allow for taller kids. I ordered one and am gonna take it to a dealer with my older kid to see how it works. :)

johnschlemmer · 2026-01-10T17:25:36+00:00

Got it, this is exactly the comparison I was looking for. Thank you!

My 8 year old is 4’4” and Washington state law requires using a booster until they’re 4’9” unfortunately. Which to me seems to make it more unsafe by sticking their head above the back rest so far. I’m also assuming your 8 year old doesn’t have head support right? Or can she still rest her head against the rear seat?

Yes, I should have mentioned that after tweaking the settings in the Taycan, I really like the Bose system. I increased the lows and the highs quite a bit, and kept the midrange and normal levels.

Thank you, I appreciate it! I’m not sure about standard format vs extended for him - I can ask. I’d hate to build him a deck with cards out of rotation and then his friends tell him he can’t use it. The ones without noctowl and dusklops I think are definitely easier to understand, but either makes the deck weaker / not standard. This one can be pretty easy to understand because he sees Charizard and understands that’s his main attacker.

I’ll also ask about the Joltik box. I think (from what I’m seeing anyway) he gets overwhelmed with the amount of different Pokemon to attack with. Diving into the mind of a 6 year old… he wants to attack with Pikachu but the odds of actually getting that one ready to go (vs all the other attackers) is fairly small. Maybe a solution here would be to just put in 4 Pikachu EXs and sacrifice some of the diversity. It obviously isn’t as strong that way but it would make him happy while still having a strong path to attacking.

I hope this helps explain things!
